Thanks Dee, very good explanations on this method...
I am still learning the best way and timing to enter the trade/s.
Today I got good one with TP of 26 pips on EU.

**The earlier trade hit TP 34pips after next day (with thrills!!), which I should stop with +15pips on the same trading day. **
Friday Trading Day is always unexpectable.. With today's NFP, all major pairs gone up after NFP... And I stopped to early...
It's ok, still have next week to continue trade...

Well done, you got the pips. Look at the attached and ask yourself which trade you would have taken and why? Most important, Why??

glad to to see this thread being kept alive, i was trading this method a while back, wasnt the best but it made me some good pips, there were alot of fake signals but that comes with trading lagging indicators.

understading how PA works is a must, thats something very hard to teach but comes with watching the charts, the main thing is that its very hard to learn PA using synergy bars. once one understands PA, then trading synergy bars becomes much easier.

all the success to everyone here.

Hello!

I attach the 4h chart with EUR/USD.Look's like green line is going to bounce off the red signal line so it could move upward to the 2320-2340 (resistance area) and then move higher to retest the 2440 in this upper trend channel on 4h chart.

Anyway, if price will break the 2240 we will see a downward move so i'll wait and see where it goes.I'll post my trade if I will take any tomorrow.

I'm still learning about Forex (demo account) and it's my own technical analysis.It's really helpful when other, experienced people post their charts here, so keep uploading charts with your trades! Many people will appreciate it. Thank you!

Greets!

Eur/usd is close to the support (2325 - 2340 area).I think it could be a good entry at 2290 - TDI cross, Stoch confirm, doji candle and Triangle formation.I would entry it but I wasn't at home at the time.I attach 1h chart below.

Hi all

I only became aware of forex factory and started reading this thread a few days ago. Went through the first 200-300 pages religiously, and since then mostly followed the posters that offer good insight.

Just have a few questions. Perhaps the right person (eg X-Man) or others can help.

1) Any updates on BigE, and his health? The last post I picked up was that he was seriously ill and had not being able to post. But that was more than 6 mths ago. Just wishing he is better, even if unable to trade.

2) Specific question for Snarlyjack - you were one of the original guys on the post, having studied together with BigE on the formative stages of this strategy. For most of 2011 you had high conviction of only needing to trade 4-hr charts, and sticking to the system exactly as BigE had described. But in your most recent posts, you seem to be opening up to more timeframes (especially the 15min) and also other indicators. Could you talk about why the change, especially if there are any particular risks with the strategy or unforeseen problems that was not discussed before.


Thanks to X-Man for continuing this thread, and keeping it alive.

hi all,
there is a good base there for trading

i beleive chats M30 H1 and H4 works

the best would be to add an indicator, like 2 MM cross for better entries, or other indicators, i believe

so at the end of statistics , the positive results can increase well

do some people have made seius statististics on H1 and M30 as it is quite easy to made on H4.

and do some people have achieve results with the EA (i beleive the best are version 5 to 6 as the new after have being in such a mess)

cheers
waiting your answer

Well...I guess..that this TDI org trading system has come to the end......by looking the post so far.

lots of trader under this system either move on or modify the org system.

I myself last time also trading the org idea by BigE. But fell that it short of something. You can't just trade by the TDI itself only.

You need to know and combine these leading indicator like those S&R, Supply Demand, Fibo retracement, trend line, SHI Channel. To increase your winning percentage.

Plus volatility and MTF analysis as well.

No indicator is "leading" They are all lagging indicators by virtue of how they are calculated.

If you use Price Action with TDI, that should be enough - by adding indicators, all you do is add clutter and confusion

Hi to all

I'm really interested to know how well this system is working nowadays. I've read almost the entire thread and it certainly sounds like many were having great success with it a while back. Is this still the case ?

I know the thread has been less active than it was some months ago. Are previous contributors trading a different system now ?

Eelfranz has certainly be very generous with his time and effort in explaining how this system works. As too have several other members here. So, a big thank you to all concerned.

I have all the indicators set up as detailed and am just getting started with demo trading to see how well I get on. Once I get the hang of it I will post some charts to share what I learn

Hello Traders,
Long before the "trading made simple" thread was started our charts looked just as you see here. Big E took this a step further and eliminated a few things and ventured onto the higher TF. I still incorporate the indicators and mas today. I have looked at charts that people have posted and some seem to be having a difficult time. The one thing I have noticed is that people have taken short cuts with the TDI and eliminated some important parts, yellow line= market sentiment and the blue bands. not to say the rules that need to be followed in order to have profitible trades.

While it is good to learn about Dean Malone's original TDI strategies and the uses of the Market Base and Sentiment lines, they never were part of the original template suggested by Big E. (which is the topic of this thread.)
The value of the strategy lies in the simplification of the Synergy method, taking the most easily understood information, while obviously we should heed David's advice and always look at the price action, basically that's all you need, that and about a year's practice. Stick to EUR/USD only at first.

Stick to EUR/USD only at first.

yeah, as a newbie i followed that advice also when i started, but..

After a while, when you know what youre doing,
you should get rid of of this rule.

Its all the same, and often the other pairs are much more easier to trade
and you miss a lot of signals ignoring them.

Even more, €/$ is a fraudulent manipulation gambler Pair,
and as a newbie strarting with €/$ makes it much more difficult to survive.

My advice, kick €/$ first
